Wave is a unique social app that connects people worldwide through a synchronized global experience. Inspired by the stadium wave, it brings this phenomenon to life on a global scale. Watch the wave travel around the world in real-time, completing a full revolution in just over a day. An interactive map shows its current position as it moves across continents, oceans, and time zones. When the wave reaches your location, join the moment by sharing a single message. Your contribution is special, as messages fade away when the wave moves on, creating a fresh, live experience every cycle. Stay engaged with countdown notifications 30 and 5 minutes before the wave arrives so you never miss your chance to participate. The app syncs with your location, ensuring a personalized and real-time connection. Be part of a global movement and experience the world together, one wave at a time.
